Black Panther Star Shuri, I Am In Love With Jesus

Letitia Wright who played the role of Shuri in the widely publicized movie, Black Panther has revealed how she Encountered God before landing the role in the movie.

Wright was speaking on British Talk Show, This Morning, when she recalled that she gave up a role to get the biggest role in her career in the Black Panther Movie.

The Guyanese-born British actress said she was so engrossed with her career that she idolized it, but she had to take a break to focus on God.

Wright took a break from acting until 2015 after she encountered Christianity at a London actors’ Bible study.

“I needed to take a break from acting because I really idolized it. So I came off from it and I went on a journey to discover my relationship with God, and I became a Christian,”

“It really just gave me so much love and light within myself. I felt secure like I didn’t need validation from anyone else, or from getting a part. My happiness wasn’t dependent on that, it was dependent on my relationship with God.”

“I remember God was like, to me, ‘Give up the job,’” the actress told Vanity Fair. “I can give you more than that; I just need you right now. Give up the job.”

“There’s a reason there are so many Christians in the limelight. A lot of young people who are in the creative industry are finding an avenue toward God now,” she said. “We’re all in the same path, we’re all in the same thing. But we all support each other, and love each other, and keep each other grounded, and keep each other positive.”

She said she wants to spread the Love of God after Jesus showed her love.

“Where I go, where He takes me, that’s where I need to spread the love of God,” she said in an earlier interview. “Because people’s souls are dying. My soul was dying, and He saved me. So I can’t keep this to myself … I fell in love with Jesus and I’m still in love. Amen.”
